One’s the “skinniest truck driver” in Australia, and the other runs a popular food blog when she’s not helping people with disabilities to find a job.

My Kitchen Rules’ first set of gatecrashers — Marko Savic and Danielle Oakman from WA — might have marked differences in cultures, interests, and skillsets, but the couple believe they embody all the values emblematic of their home State.

One of three latecomer teams to enter the home cooking show’s cauldron, the pair of 26-year-olds will put themselves, and WA, on a plate as they host their instant restaurant on Tuesday night.

“Danielle and I are WA personified, we’re Perth personified,” Marko told PerthNow.

“We’re underdogs, we’re hard working, but we’re also very relaxed and chill. So I think us representing WA is perfect.”

Meeting at a music festival seven years ago, the couple are now living with Marko’s family while they save for their first home.

With Marko of Serbian descent, and Danielle’s heritage part Chinese, the bubbly couple promise to bring a unique mix to the dinner table.

Less than two years ago, Danielle began documenting her foodie exploits on social media purely because friends kept asking for recommendations.

Now, she’s got another 12,000 hungry online followers awaiting the inside scoop.

While discovering the culinary delights of Perth and abroad is a hobby, her spark in the kitchen was lit a lot closer to home.

“My parents inspired my love for cooking. There is nothing better than a good home-cooked meal,” she said.

Exposed to Serbian and Balkan flavours as a kid, Marko began cooking for himself from a young age while his parents managed their truck driver training business.

Choosing to follow a similar path, at 22 he became the youngest truck driving assessor of his kind in Australia since 1981.

But Marko swears, his diet is a little more refined than that of the truckies he trains.

“If you’ve ever looked at a truckie, you’ll see that the food culture is probably meat pies that you get at a service station. So I’m probably the skinniest truck driver in Australia as well,” he joked.

Marko’s ideal cooking scenario would be leaving a lamb on a spit for hours while sharing a drink with mates on a summer’s day — with the UFC blaring in the background.

Lacking no confidence ahead of their “hostile” debut on the show, the pair hope their “yin and yang” dynamic will impress judges Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel, as well as their fellow competitors.

“Coming in as a gatecrasher is an absolute ideal scenario” Marko said. “That means that someone has been eliminated, and we’re one step closer to winning the ultimate prize.”
